Red Clover

Red Clover Afternoon and Evening: A Red Clover afternoon and evening will be held on Thursday, April 19. The afternoon program is for the students and staff to celebrate the Red Clover books. In the evening from 6:30-7:30pm, families are invited to come to school and enjoy various art activities that highlight the books. This program, named after Vermont's state flower, is sponsored by the VT Center for the Book and the VT Departments of Education and Libraries. Ten picture books are nominated by a committee of educators every year. Our students have heard all ten books and have voted for their favorite. More than 25,000 children in Vermont voted last year. Please join us for a wonderful evening.
